    At the entrance to the Ammergau Alps Nature Park lies the Hörnle, the local mountain of Bad Kohlgrub. It consists of three peaks: Front Hörnle (1484 m), Middle Hörnle (1496 m), and Rear Hörnle (1548 m).

    Author’s recommendation

    In good weather you can even see the Allianz Arena in Munich from the Zeitberg.

    Roadbook

    The route begins at the parking lot near the Hörnle cable car and follows parallel to the lift road uphill. You will encounter a forest road and follow it in a southeast direction to the Ebmahd.

    After about 2.5 km we turn right onto a hiking trail uphill in direction of the Rear Hörnle (do not hike over the Elmauberg, this path is closed!). 

    Via the Middle and Front Hörnle you reach the mountain station of the Hörnle cable car and the Hörnle hut. The return route goes via the family ski slope towards Sonnen. From Sonnen you walk at the foot of the Hörnle back to the starting point at the Hörnle cable car. 

    Our recommendation:

    Never get lost again - we recommend the free app "Zugspitz Region" including GPX tracks for all routes in the region
